Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”) prohibits discrimination in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, and other aspects of employment, on the basis of race, color, or national origin

. Employers are also prohibited from discriminating because of citizenship status against U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and the following classes of aliens with work authorization: permanent residents, temporary residents (that is, individuals who have gone through the legalization program), refugees, and asylees. However, foreign nationals and their potential employers should be aware that there are U.S. immigration regulations associated with both employment and volunteer opportunities. The unlawful employment of foreign nationals by U.S. employers is a violation of federal law and can subject employers to both civil and criminal penalties.

All employers must properly complete a Form I-9 for every person they hire in the United States. The USCIS recently issued a revised version of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 and, as of January 22, 2017, employers must only use the new version of this form.

This article includes more information on the revised I-9 and a reminder about the requirement that certain Georgia employers also use e-Verify to verify immigration status for employees.

When hiring employees, all nonprofit employers need to check employment eligibility on Form I-9, and may be required to use E-Verify.

This webcast will cover the following topics:

· Basics of completing and maintaining Form I-9
· Am I required to use E-Verify?
· Top 10 I-9 compliance mistakes.
· What does Executive action on immigration mean for me?
· Other business immigration changes that may affect my nonprofit.
